What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[brettitt41]

Ive got some 200gr 45 colt bullets on order from them to. Been on order for a while. What weight universal charge are you using Bret

I settled on 14.5 of Universal under the 350's. They are very accurate and not punishing to shoot. The 12.5 of Trail boss under the 405's are just silly fun suppressed and easy shooting but not quite as accurate.

b'41, do I spy some 20ga there? You load for those also? Bench is looking good!

Yeah those are my 3/4oz lite 20G loads for my old Stevens 311 SXS. I like to take the SXS sporting clays shooting sometimes just for the fun of it. I reload for everything I shoot actually except rimfire. I load .32acp, .32 S&W Long, .38 Special,.357 mag, 9mm, .45acp in pistol rounds and .22 Hornet, .224/5.56, .308, 30-06, 45-70, 20g & 12g.

earlier today I resized around around 700 mixed R-P and Starline 44 Mag cases .... doing so was the first significant use of our portable reloading equipment

Looks like a nice set up.

Changed the 336 30-30 I am going to use in Lever Silhouette and working up some loads that worked well in it before. I am starting to keep better notes but I couldn't find any for these so I worked a few up from memory, 130grns HC's for chickens and pigs then 170' for turkeys and rams. I am going to find good loads for this rifle before I remove the scope and sight in with the peeps.

[JEBar]

please post comments on your progress .... brand of bullets do you plan to use

[Rifletom]

Yeah, I'd like to know the 170 load. Is it strictly for metal? Or a hunting load also? I have a load or two for that.

My 170grn load is a Speer Hot Core over 31.2 W748 with a magnum primer.
